| I have only heard "Nights In White Satin" through the media channels that I've ever been exposed to. Are the other ones really that "smash" of a hit? |

Wow, 4 great hit singles. Well chosen, Jean-Marie.
From these, I choose the Moodies.

Though not a hit in my corner of the planet, and I didn't hear it until decades after it was released, I thought I'd vote for Rain and Tears. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Procol Harum. The singles of Aphrodite's Child and the Moody Blues are way too sweet for my taste. -------------

Aphrodite's Child, because of their country.

Whiter Shade Of Pale for being about an LSD trip.

| As a music therapist (in training) Night in White Satin is one of the few prog-related songs I can use. Voted for that. |

For some reason I'm not allowed to vote in polls, so I'll contribute by being an annoying nitpicker instead. Here's the singles I know of released by the Moody Blues before Nights in White Satin. Go Now even got to no. 1.
1967 MOODY BLUES Love and Beauty / Leave This Man Alone -------------

My sympathy belongs to Sympathy. That´s not so chest-nutty song like the others, having an emotional charge, tension and gradation. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |
